I have been stalking for about a year now and i'm itching to upgrade my rifle to something better/lighter/shorter for woodland stalking.
I'm happy with my scope (Swaro fixed 8x50) for the moment and reckon i've got about £1000 for a rifle and mod once i've sold or p/x my current rifle and mod.
I was settled on the T3 lite as my friend has one which shoots really well and i'm impressed by the weight but wasn't that keen on the plastic stock.
The question is do I settle for the T3 (in budget) or break the bank for secondhand Sako 85 or A7 if I can find one. Is it worth the extra £200-£400? Any suggestions on where the best prices for these rifles are at the moment gratefully received. Best price I can find on a T3 lite is £720 new.
What factory rounds do people use in these? I don't reload and as I'm still a novice would like to keep things 'simple'.
Thanks
RR
